Big Narstie²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Hayley Turner| T: R Spencer| OR: 83| D

8/11

AW maiden winner who was back to somewhere near his best eased in class when finishing a close-up sixth in a big-field Doncaster handicap (7f) on return 4 weeks ago. Fancied to come on for that and respected from 2 lb lower.

Form: 20464-6

Admirality¹⁷³

Age: 8| Weight: 9-2| J: Jason Hart| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 78| D

11/4

Fallen plenty in weights but it is now thirty two runs since last win at Thirsk in 2019. Plenty of solid efforts last year at least but he did need his respective reappearance last term.

Dulla Bhatti²³³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods| OR: 77

5/1

All the better for debut when readily landing a Hamilton novice (6f) in June. Run with credit on 2 of his 3 starts thereafter, albeit carrying head a little awkwardly. Still, he remains low-mileage and may have more in his locker as a 4-y-o.

Parys Mountain^h,t¹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 9-0| J: Brandon Wilkie⁽⁷⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 76| D

12/1

25/1, shaped as if better for the run when eighth of 13 in handicap at Catterick (7f, soft) 18 days ago. Entitled to be sharper with that behind him but he remains 2 lb above last winning mark.

Forecasts

Big Narstie (8/11), Gainsbourg (2/1), Admirality (11/4), Dulla Bhatti (5/1), Fiftyshadesofred (6/1), Celtic Empress (6/1), Parys Mountain (12/1), Harold Shand (12/1)

BIG NARSTIE found it tough in some competitive handicaps following his AW maiden success last year but ran well down in class when finishing a close-up sixth in a big-field handicap on return at Doncaster 4 weeks ago and could be the way to go here. Gainsbourg and Wolverhampton-scorer Fiftyshadesofred are also fancied to be the shake-up.
